Speedy deletion nomination of Ustadh Mau


A tag has been placed on Ustadh Mau requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.ascleiden.nl/content/library-weekly/ustadh-mau. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Dear Onel5969, it’s perfectly true that the content of the English Wikipedia page on Ustadh Mau is identical with the text of the library weekly on Ustadh Mau as I have created both texts. I first created the library weekly and then turned the text and references into a Wikipedia article.  Kind regards, Walkuraxx (talk) 14:26, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi. If you wish to create an article based on text you have written elsewhere, and can prove you own the copyright, you can follow the process at Requesting copyright permission.  However, please follow 's advice regarding COI editing.  Onel 5969  TT me 22:22, 28 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Onel5969, proving copyright may be easier said than done. The site hosting the text gives no indication that it is PD or otherwise free to use, so the site, there is no indication who posted the material, and of course we don't know who Walkuraxx is. It seems to me that the only way forward is for the hosting site to explicitly release the text on its web page, or, more likely, provide an OTRS release Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:34, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

You have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about yourself, your friends or relatives and read the guidance below:


 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.


 * Much of your text was unsourced, and one of the refs you did give is a commentary, not a ref


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You have several in-text external links


 * You had no wikilinks, eg Lamu Island


 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.


 * The copied page has no indication that it is public domain or another free-to-licence and therefore can't be used here. Your text won't be restored.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. If you are writing about yourself, or someone you know as a friend, colleague, client, employer or relative, you have a conflict of interest, and you must disclose the nature of that COI.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Kenyan imams


A tag has been placed on Category:Kenyan imams indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz Read!
